| We climbed a route as described in Becky (CAG:2 page 340). We climbed the gulley to the climber's left of the main peak directly to the summit. I would describe it as loose and spicy 4th class. We did not see the 20-ft crack, but found a 20-ft right facing open book just prior to the summit. No gear used, pro would be problematic, 50 meter rope required for the rap. We combined it with a climb of Goode the same day, which was reasonable camping at five mile camp. The traverse from Goode to Storm King over a notch below Goode at 7400ft avoids some (but not all) of the scree slogging. |
